The Rural Museum and a monument commemorate key figures in Cyprus during the military rule on the eve of the Turkish invasion in 1974. After Britain left the island and Cyprus declared its independence in 1960, both Greek and Turkish communities received relative representation in the new republic's institutions. However, tensions persisted, with Greek extremist elements exerting influence until Turkey's invasion in 1974, which led to the island's division into a Greek South and a Turkish North. The village experienced a population exchange, with Turkish residents moving to the north.

Сельский музей и памятник увековечивают ключевые фигуры на Кипре во время военного правления накануне турецкого вторжения в 1974 году. После того как Великобритания покинула остров и Кипр провозгласил свою независимость в 1960 году, греческое и турецкое население острова получило относительное представительство в учреждениях молодой республики. Однако напряженность сохранялась, и греческие экстремистские элементы оказывали влияние до тех пор, пока Турция не вторглась в 1974 году, что привело к разделению острова на греческую южную и турецкую северную части. В деревне произошел обмен населением, и турецкие жители переехали на север.

Cyprus: Picturesque villages of the west coast

We began our journey at the Energy Islands Resort Hotel and headed west along the coast, passing through villages near the famous Akamas Peninsula. The village of Kathikas is known for its special grape variety, while the village of St. George is a peaceful haven. We continued along the scenic west coast, eventually reaching the airport.
